Sorry for the delay on this topic, but other stuff has just been more 
urgent during the last couple of days...

If they will find out how to do it.... ;-)

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand your argument here. You only 
seem to argue that some logging functionality is required. And of 
course, I fully agree with that and I've never questioned that.
The only thing I don't understand yet is the rationale behind the 
"_logging_" module. Where does _logging_ have advantages over the 
standard logging module and using some standardized logger names within 
pygccxml/pyplusplus?

I even think using the Python logging module directly has the advantage 
that pygccxml/pyplusplus can use one common logging mechanism whereas so 
far, _logging_ is only available in pyplusplus (what does pygccxml use 
for writing log messages?).
